Put Down Your Damn BlackBerry

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Dave Sholler - People are often surprised to read that I am only 24 years old. When I receive emails from BoxingScene readers asking if I remember fights from the 1960s and 1970s, I politely remind them that I only recall those bouts thanks to ESPN Classic. I don’t claim to be a know-it-all like Dan Rafael or Tom Hauser. I don’t have libraries full of old fights, nor can I recall every single champion in every stinkin’ division. I don’t link up with promoters looking for freebies or stalk fighters looking to become a member of some “clique.” Quite honestly, freebies and cliques don’t interest me. After all, you the readers don’t care if Promoter X flew me to some cushy media luncheon. You don’t care if I’m up some champion’s rear end either. [details]

Wonder if anyone makes good money being a boxing writer.
Seems like that, as in any job, you gotta conform some to get the free buffets and the like that help supplement the paycheck.


I mean we have to make compromises in normal jobs every day.

Good read. It's true that once you delve deeper into boxing, you'll soon realize that it could never be truer. Too bad, there have been so many pointless PPVs, many of which have so far failed to chase new fans out of the woodwork.
